I was reading what I could find about it yesterday, I think I'll do it myself. As for needing a press, I don't mind buying more tools, I'll need one to change the axle bearings anyways. I'll have to start it this week, my friend has the rearend housing all cleaned and painted, so I better get it done.
pretty easy job, just triple check the lash, too loose makes a lot of noise and metal peices, too tight makes this nasty whine and a lot of metal peices.GL.
If you havent done it before then i recomend geting sombody that does know how to do it. The videos can help. If its noisy its not set up right. if you were here in san diego i would gladly help you.
If it's someone he can work with. There's gotta be a first time, other wise he'll never "have done it before".
How hard can it really be? I've read up on it, bought what I needed, Hell if I can strip the whole car to a shell and put it back together, I think I can do it. Just ask me at the Round-up next year, that is if you don't hear my rear end whining
